Live Books!
Well I've finally finished getting the contract signed and I'm on board with SourceBeat. I love the model, in essence I get to write a book and then rewrite it based on feed back, add stuff that I wanted to but did not have time to for the first release, etc. Also the publishing cycle is much compressed. Instead of delivering my last written word and waiting 4 months for the book to show up on Amazon then 2 more weeks for it to make the warehouse its like 15 minutes from me hitting send till it shows up (well not really they do make sure that its not full of holes and stuff but you get the idea).
I'm totally psyched!
What are your thoughts about the model?
Can you give a little bit more details on the terms and conditions. I mean how much of a cut are they going to take out?

Nearly 30 dollars per book/year is too much for my taste.

How much do you normally pay for your books, Mike? Especially one that you get updates to and interact with the author? I think 30 bucks is a pretty good price.
